This is one of the many trips that we have taken. We love to go hiking and my hubby loves his day trips. We try to find a different place to go every so often, but this is one that we love to come back too. It's beautiful and a nice little hike into the woods. If you live in Maine and haven't been here you should go, if you are planning on visiting make this one of your stops! Hope you enjoy the pics.

Take a Hike.... In Maine!
